Stash Namer

Stop naming stashes "WIP" or leaving them unnamed. This reads your changes and creates a meaningful stash name.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-stash-name

What It Does

• Reads your staged and unstaged changes
• Generates a descriptive stash name
• Actually runs git stash with the name
• No more mystery stashes

Usage Examples

# Stash with auto-generated name
npx ai-stash-name

# Preview without stashing
npx ai-stash-name --dry-run

Best Practices

• Stash early, stash often - it's free
• Name them well - future you will thank you
• Don't hoard stashes - apply or drop them
• Pop, don't apply - unless you need to keep it

When to Use This

• Switching contexts quickly
• Saving work before pulling
• Experimenting with changes
• Any time you'd use git stash

How It Works

Runs git diff to see your changes, sends the diff summary to GPT-4o-mini to generate a descriptive name, then runs git stash push -m with that name.
